Cape Masai Leather, The Africa’s Finest Ethically Crafted Luxury Leather Goods

We are Cape Town’s premier destination for handmade genuine leather goods, blending timeless craftsmanship with bold African heritage.

  • In 2010, Harryson Juma Odari recognized the need for accessible leather goods in South Africa after discovering the unaffordable prices of imported items. Motivated by this gap in the market, he embarked on a mission to produce high-quality leather products at affordable prices with a starting capital of just R50. Cape Masai Leather was born, becoming a symbol of authenticity, craftsmanship, and African heritage.
  • For over 15 years, we’ve specialized in curating luxury travel essentials, sleek laptop satchels, durable briefcases, office & travel or casual leather backpacks and iconic handbags all meticulously crafted from 100% ethically sourced South African leather. All our products are individually cut by hand to ensure the finest quality and craftsmanship.
